  5. Combine vegetable mix to pasta mix and mix well. Season with pepper, Salad Supreme and Romano/Parmesan grated cheese.

  7. Author's Note: I always get rave reviews and requests to prepare this potluck favorite and it is yummy if desired vegetables. It makes a beautiful color presentation and makes sufficient to serve about 16 people, at least. You may want to experiment with different vegetables or possibly try cutting up cubes of provolone or possibly mozzarella cheese in this salad.
